A hotshot attorney just donated half a million to President Trump as a protest move against his sham conviction…

June 12, 2024 (11 hours ago)

A truly stunning protest move just unfolded in Florida. A hot-shot anti-Trump lawyer, utterly disgusted by the sham conviction against President Trump, decided to fight back in a big and rather unexpected way—by donating half a million bucks to Trump’s 2024 campaign.

Yes, you read that right—half a million dollars. That’s one heck of a YUGE statement, isn’t it? Especially from a Hillary and Biden voter. Talk about a major protest donation from someone who’s seriously fed up…

Miami Herald:

Hugh Franklin Culverhouse, Jr. — former assistant U.S. attorney for the Southern District of Florida and the son of the former owner of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers — has given former President Donald Trump half a million dollars for his presidential campaign in protest of his felony conviction.

Last week, Trump was convicted on 34 counts in a New York state case of falsifying documents to hide hush-money payments to a porn star in order to influence the outcome of the 2016 election.

Culverhouse told the Herald/Times this week thathe feels like the case against Trump was politically motivated, as are the six other criminal and civil cases against him, and violate Trump’s constitutional right to testify.

“Anything he says on that witness stand can be used in all of the remaining suits,” Culverhouse, who practices constitutional law, said. “So, you basically have a violation of the Fifth Amendment.”

Culverhouse added: “The bottom line: that’s not kosher. That’s not fair. That’s not constitutional.”

Here’s where it gets even more interesting, folks. Consider this: the guy’s a Hillary-Biden voter who’s contributed to the Biden campaign and the Lincoln Project. Yet he’s so fed up with what the Democrats are doing that he just forked over $500,000 to Donald Trump. Let that sink in for a moment. The Miami Herald piece continues:

Culverhouse, who is 75 and practices law at his firm in Coral Gables, has a long record of cutting large political checks to both Democrats and Republicans. Federal records show he donated to the Biden campaign and even the anti-Trump Lincoln Project in 2020, but has more recently been a big supporter of Republican causes, contributing more than $750,000 to Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ failed presidential campaign.

Culverhouse, who said he’s currently a registered Republican but has been an independent in the past, said he voted for Hillary Clinton in 2016 and Joe Biden in 2020. But since Biden took office, Culverhouse said he’s become increasingly conservative. Culverhouse “lost faith” in Biden after he withdrew from Afghanistan in 2021.

“You don’t walk out on your allies and just flee,” Culverhouse said.

And he’s been turned off by other policies such as Biden’s effort to cancel student debt.

While Culverhouse isn’t thrilled about Trump, he said he plans to vote for him in 2024 because he believes he’s being politically persecuted in the legal system.

The hefty protest donation from Attorney Culverhouse isn’t as shocking as you might think. After all, following the unjust, anti-American, and unconstitutional conviction, the American public launched their own monumental protest—by donating nearly $53 million to President Trump. It was a record-breaking haul and reminded us of a blockbuster opening weekend, where support for the beloved star just keeps pouring in.

Dustin Mills:

The Trump campaign has raised a total of $52.8 million in the 24 hours following Trump’s conviction in New York.

The amount means the Trump campaign is raking in over $2 million an hour.

The Trump campaign also reported that over a third of the donations came from new donors.

“With more than one-third of these donors being new to the campaign, it is clear that more and more Americans are seeing through the Biden election interference and joining President Trump in the movement to save our nation,…

Russia formally charges WSJ journalist with spying for CIA

Evan Gershkovich is accused of collecting intelligence about the Russian military industry

The Russian Prosecutor General has finalized its indictment against Wall Street Journal journalist Evan Gershkovich, who is accused of attempting to obtain military secrets for the CIA, it was announced on Thursday.

In a statement, investigators claimed they have evidence that the American citizen was acting on behalf of the US foreign intelligence agency whenhe tried to collect classified information about Uralvagonzavod, a major Russian producer of tanks and armored vehicles, in Ekaterinburg in March 2023.

The case, which was compiled based on materials provided by the Russian Federal Security Service (FSB), has been sent for trial at a court in the Urals region of Sverdlovsk, it added.

The court has jurisdiction as Uralvagonzavod is located in the region and the alleged crimes were committed on its soil.

Gershkovich and his employer have denied the Russian allegations and have claimed he is being held unlawfully. The newspaper has called on the US government to retaliate and has reportedly been told that Washington is looking for “creative solutions” to resolve the situation.

American officials have reportedly contacted other governments about potentially taking custody of prisoners who they believe may be of interest to Russia in a swap for Gershkovich. Brazil, Norway, Germany, and an unnamed former Soviet bloc country have been approached with such requests, according to Western media.

Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson asked Russian President Vladimir Putin about Gershkovich during an interview in February, claiming that his fellow US journalist was “obviously not a spy.”Putin responded by saying that “getting classified information in secret is called espionage,” and that Gershkovich was “caught red-handed when he was receiving this information.”

Moscow has no objections in principle to releasing Gershkovich eventually but won’t do so simply as a goodwill gesture because __it has already “exhausted” such reserves in dealing with Washington__, Putin added. kek
